HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Hops Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: hops powder. Hops is the flowering cone of the Humulus lupulus plant, traditionally used in brewing and herbal medicine.

There are no inactive ingredients in this formulation.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient Hops product and its label doesn't state a use — see Hops's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence for hops in our data isn't established for any of its common uses. Insufficient reliable evidence exists to rate it for age-related cognitive decline, sexual dysfunction, anxiety, ADHD, indigestion (dyspepsia), or insomnia.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work—it means clinical trials haven't yet proven it does. If you're considering it for a specific reason, it's worth discussing with your doctor.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Hops

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Hops is generally well tolerated in the short term, though drowsiness is the main caution. Long-term safety hasn't been well studied, so we don't know what happens with prolonged use.

Occupational exposure to hops dust (common in harvesting) is linked to chronic cough, shortness of breath, and chronic bronchitis. There's also a report of postmenopausal bleeding in women taking supplements that combined hops and soy, though it's unclear whether hops, soy, or the combination was responsible.

Topical contact with fresh hops plant or dust can cause allergic reactions or contact dermatitis in some people. During pregnancy, there isn't enough safety information—the data advises against it.

For breastfeeding, safety is unknown, so it's best avoided. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant, nursing, or have respiratory concerns.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Hops

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Hops.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 864 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this if you're on sedative or anti-anxiety medications (CNS depressants)—hops can make drowsiness worse. Also double-check if you take estrogen-based medications or hormone replacement therapy.

If you take drugs processed through your liver (a large group), mention this product to your pharmacist so they can confirm it's safe with your specific medications.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Hops powder is one active ingredient with no proven effectiveness for the conditions it's marketed for, and it carries real risks with certain medications and during pregnancy or breastfeeding. If you take sedative drugs or hormone therapy, or if you're pregnant or nursing, check with your doctor or pharmacist before using it.

Even if you don't take those medications, discuss it with your healthcare provider to see if it makes sense for you.

Hops, Powder4 drug types · 863 drugs

Cns Depressants

Theoretically, concomitant use of hops with sedative drugs might cause additive sedation.
Some animal research shows that hops has sedative effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Estrogens

Theoretically, concomitant use of large amounts of hops might interfere with hormone replacement therapy due to competition for estrogen receptors.
In vitro research suggests that certain hops constituents can competitively bind to estrogen receptors. However, most hops extracts contain very small amounts of these constituents.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Hops extract does not seem to affect the metabolism of CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro research suggests that flavonoid constituents of hops inhibit CYP1A2 enzyme activity. However, a pharmacokinetic study in healthy postmenopausal patients shows that taking a standardized extract of spent hops containing prenylated phenols, as 59.5 mg twice daily for 2 weeks, does not affect levels of caffeine, a CYP1A2 probe substrate.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, hops extract might alter metabolism of CYP3A4 substrates; however, this effect may not be clinically significant.
Animal research suggests that specific constituents of hops, called lupulones, can induce hepatic CYP3A4 enzyme activity. However, a pharmacokinetic study in healthy postmenopausal patients with normal metabolism shows that taking a standardized extract of spent hops containing prenylated phenols, as 59.5 mg twice daily for 2 weeks, decreases the concentration of alprazolam, a CYP3A4 probe substrate, by 7.6%. This reduction is unlikely to be clinically relevant.

Hops Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Hops Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Hops Powder has a known interaction with 863 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Hops Powder contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Will hops make me drowsy?
Drowsiness is the main safety caution with hops, especially if you take it regularly. Animal research shows hops has sedative effects, so it's likely to make you sleepy—and much worse if combined with sleeping pills or anxiety medications. If you drive or operate machinery, be cautious.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. The data advises against hops during pregnancy because there isn't enough safety information. While breastfeeding, safety is unknown, so it's best avoided too. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're planning to become pregnant or are nursing.
Does hops actually help with sleep or anxiety?
The evidence in our data isn't established for either one. Insufficient reliable evidence exists to say whether hops works for insomnia or anxiety. It's a traditional remedy, but clinical proof isn't there yet.
What's the connection between hops and hormone therapy?
Lab research shows hops compounds can bind to estrogen receptors, which means they might interfere with how estrogen-based medications like hormone replacement therapy work. Most hops powders contain only small amounts of these compounds, but the risk is real enough to warrant caution. Check with your doctor if you're on hormone therapy.
Are there any other side effects besides drowsiness?
Besides drowsiness, there's a report of postmenopausal bleeding in women taking a supplement that combined hops with soy—though it's unclear if hops alone was the culprit. People who work with hops dust can develop chronic respiratory issues like cough and bronchitis. Allergic reactions and contact dermatitis are possible if your skin touches fresh hops or its dust.
How long is it safe to use this product?
Short-term use is generally well tolerated, but long-term safety hasn't been well studied. We don't know what happens with prolonged daily use, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist about how long you plan to take it.
